Things that have changed:

1) The ACLU has been demanding that the Ten Commandmants be taken down or threatens suit, all across the country.

2) The Pledge of Allegiance is being "disallowed" because the name of God is in it.

3) "God Bless America" has somehow been equated with "offensiveness" because the name of God is in it.

4) Graduating classes are being prohibited from having a prayer at their graduations.

5) School athletes are being told it is against the law to pray before they run out onto the field and play the game because it "offends" ONE student.

These are only some examples of groups and the government (i.e., school districts and judges) infringing upon the rights of individuals to express themselves. However, there are individuals and groups which the ACLU protects: For one: the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA), is allowed to display obscene acts of Mary, the mother of Jesus, or portray Jesus in a vile manner, claiming they have the "freedom to express themselves." The NEA receives government funding and uses my money to fund the "artists" who "create" these offensive and disgusting works of "art."

Disgusting works of "art" get protected. Saying God Bless America gets condemned. I think something definitely is wrong with the liberals in our society who seek to defend trash and tear down what is healthy and good.

I don't have a problem with the Ten Commandments not being posted in schools. The attack on The Pledge and God Bless America is failing everywhere. I also think that there are a lot of armchair legal eagles out there making threats to schools, claiming "separation of Church and State" not really understanding what that means. I also happen to think that school principals, and school districts have to be challenged on their extended interpretation of current laws, we need to sue these folks, and continue suinfg them for discrimination until they yell "uncle"!
